Mom deserves the very best, don’t you think? Yes, I’m mostly saying that because I’m a mom. BUT STILL. You know how I love me some handmade gifts. And every time I turn around there are more awesome ideas floating around the internet for DIY gifts for mom. So I’ve rounded up some of my…
Here we go again! My favorite options for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are homemade gifts. Not only because it saves money, but it also (usually) makes for a more meaningful and heartfelt gift (unless you have a “nailed it” internet meme moment).
Every Easter I love giving small gifts to family and friends. In the past, I’ve given away little Easter baskets, DIY beanbag chicks and bunny tails (marshmallows), and this year I was inspired by all the cute bunny treat bags and gifts that I’ve come across. Who knew you could make an apple look like a bunny?
If you’ve ever stopped by my blog before, you know I’m a huge DIY gifter. Not only do do-it-yourself gifts save money, I also find them to be really thoughtful. Every holiday I scour the internet for good DIY gift ideas – i.e. something I would actually be proud to give to someone and something that suits their personality/lifestyle; not something cheesy that I’m giving just because it was free or cheap to make.
I’m trying not to have a panic attack. But honestly, how is it already May?!? I swear 2017 just started, didn’t it? Although I can’t even remember what my resolutions were… did I have any? Anyway, I digress. Mother’s Day will be here before we know it, so it’s probably a good time to start…
Christmas always brings its gift-buying challenges. Like what to buy for the lady who sits in the cubicle next to you that you chat with about your respective dogs, but you can’t remember her husband’s name (although, you do know her dog’s name). Or maybe you’ve got a list of several people that you need…
I always like to give at least one handmade gift from the kids to our parents for Christmas. But how many coasters with my kids’ faces plastered on them do they really need? So I try to find some out of the box gifts to create for them that they might actually enjoy (like some…
Father’s Day! Time again to celebrate our amazing husbands who also happen to be amazing fathers. I don’t know about you, but as I start to plan my gifts for the Mr. every year, I tend to go a little overboard. I get what I refer to as “christmas for the kids syndrome” where I…
While searching for ideas on what handmade gifts I could give some friends and family members this Christmas, I saw an article on decorating notebooks in an old Family Fun magazine. And then I thought, hey – my daughter could totally help me make these (everything is cuter when a kid helps make it) and…
As Christmas draws near, I’ve got gifts for teachers on the brain. If you’ve read this post from last June, you already know that I am notorious for forgetting to pre-plan teacher gifts and end up scrambling the night before. I promised myself that this year I would get on the ball, so I am starting now! I’ve got one week of school left before my daughter is out for Christmas, so I am really ahead of the game compared to last year.
